** 05/25/21 update.. So the 80,000 bonus hit my MP account yesterday as did the $7500 or so in transactions, and the odd 5,000 bonus remained so all appears to be solid, with possibly an extra 5000 bonus to boot. MAYBE it was some extra card bonus since I was already a card holder, unsure. Just a few more in spend and the extra 20,000 bonus should hopefully, appeaer.

can anyone comment on whether if one is somehow NOT eligible for this bonus, will it indicate that upon signing up, or will it fail later on in the process? #11KGF has a prior United MP Chase card, but didn't receive this card automatically and I'm wondering if sign-up and bonus is eligible.?

Two 5,000-mile anniversary award flight credits.
Starting with your first anniversary, you'll automatically get 5,000 miles back after you take a United award flight booked with your miles - up to 2 times every anniversary year.

I opened this card 2 months ago. In Dec 2021 (8 months after opening card) I will fly 2 separately ticketed award flights. Will I get 5000 miles back after flying these?
or...
Is this benefit essentially useless until the account has been open for 12 months, at which point I'll get the 2 x 5000 mile credits "for future application" (in other words they cant be applied toward flights taken before the 12 month anniversary, such as those flights I'm taking, mentioned above.?)

If I had to guess, it's because they already have a huge sign-up bonus on this card, and they were trying to provide an incentive for people not to cancel when the annual fee comes due. I can't see how 10K extra miles would break the bank one way or the other, but... 🤷♂️

Any data points on United Quest card $125 credit working for TravelBank or gift cards?
I charged an Econ Plus upgrade, that automatically credited.
EDIT: Looks like g/c are not sold anymore.
EDIT2: At a bare minimum I guess I could always just buy an airline tkt and cancel it, then it will be good for another year.

I was able to buy two $50 travel bank purchases and it was reimbursed. The other $25 partially covered an additional payment on a Future Flight Credit ticket. There does not seem to be a $25 travel bank purchase amount.

So, clearly not after a year, but you made two separate purchases for $50, and both were re-imbursed? Nice.

5 days ago I product changed from Explorer to Quest. By next day the website was updated showing the same credit card number as Quest card.
Immediately paid $60 in taxes for an award ticket, and when it posted there was a credit for the exact amount I paid listed as "UNITED CREDIT $125/YEAR"
So a credit posted before the new annual fee.

No. Was it a targeted bonus? If so then no, I haven't seen anything public, so if you got an email about it the email should say something like "this offer is only valid for card ending in 1234"
